| Description of the problem | Driving down the road with a passenger, airbag light switches to off and the airbag light on the dash illuminates. Passenger can then unbuckle seat belt and no alarms sound alerting that the seatbelt is off. This has happened on several occasions. Took to dealer and they blamed it on a pair of jumper cables under the seat. Service writer told me it could happen if someone didn't have enough water in their system, which is bs. If its not bs then i don't feel safe with a passenger. Even after jumper cables were removed the problem still occurs. Have seen many issues on forums with same problem. *js |
